Hopefully my Friday night will consist of rocking out with Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters! Music comrade John Soeder caught up with Foos guitar player Chris Shiflett for a conversation that led me to discover that somehow, their brilliant cover of “Band on the Run” has taken a walk away from my Ipod.

DVD Review: New Order – Live in Glasgow
I finally got my hands on a copy of Live in Glasgow, the new live DVD from New Wave electronic godfathers New Order. As I continue to hammer away at my musical bucket list of bands from the 80s that I haven’t seen live yet, New Order sadly remain on the “haven’t seen” list, and […]
HUMOR: Changing Your Facebook Status
Here’s one for all of my Facebook-lovin’ friends (I’m addicted like crack.) I laughed, I really did. Perhaps you will too. But then again, you might not. p.s. Perhaps we should be Facebook friends. Changing Your Facebook Status

Video: Curb Your Enthusiasm – The Best of Leon
I’m still recovering a bit from my 80s rock and roll weekend in Dayton, OH and hoping to get my thoughts about the show online in the next couple of days. I imagine that it is likely that there are some fellow Curb Your Enthusiasm fans reading this blog. I love every episode of Curb […]
It don’t take money…..
So I was catching up yesterday on about a month’s worth of Pop Candy, and came across the following link of greatness, brought to us by the fine folks at Stereogum. It seems that Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen felt that Huey Lewis would have the goods to deliver a new soundtrack smash ala “Power […]
Good Listening: Howard Jones – Frankfurt, Germany – 3/14/2008
I will be seeing Howard Jones later this week on Saturday night in Kettering, OH, outside of Dayton at the Fraze Pavilion. I’ve been fortunate enough to see a number of shows at the Fraze over the years, and as previously discussed, I will make my return this weekend to catch the annual Mix Summerfest. […]
Pearl Jam + Ace Frehley + Madison Square Garden. For Real.
One thing that you can always expect from a Pearl Jam tour, is cool surprises in the setlist, and special guests. This current tour has been no exception! On one particular night at Madison Square Garden, Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron takes the bulk of the vocals, with guitar assistance from….Ace Frehley! Pearl Jam and […]
